As an investor, you need to ensure that your PBSA assets are in safe hands, operated to the best of their potential by the right management partner. There are more than 50 third party PBSA management operators worldwide so how can you choose the right one. What should you look for and who will deliver the best return for your asset. Most of the big commercial agencies have their preferred 3rd party management partners, at Student Housing Consultancy we are operator agnostic. We simply shortlist relevant PBSA management partners, invite them to pitch to manage the property and help you shortlist the right one.
Through our PBSA Management Operator Tender process we consider the following areas:
Once you have selected your PBSA management partner to run your property or portfolio, how can you ensure they are doing everything possible to maximise asset value, resident welfare and operational revenue? Student Housing Consultancy works in the gap between operator and investor. We oversee the management partner through the relevant team members and ensure they are delivering on their investment objectives. Typically your management partner will have multiple properties under management and investors can feel de-prioritised at times. We help to keep the flow of information consistent and maintain focus on the investment business plan.
